Open Data
Federal gencies are going to be busy in 2014 meeting deadlines for the Obama administration's open data goals of having datasets catalogued and available in extensible, machine-readable formats. By Nov. 30, 2014, agencies are tasked with providing a data inventory as well as a road map for describing and publishing data.
The General Services Administration hosts a repository of how agencies plan to create, describe, and disseminate enterprise data inventories. The government-wide template for getting to the finish line includes a quarterly level of deliverables, which varies slightly from agency to agency. Some agencies have detailed schedules, others list overall goals, and a few appear to be behind the curve – lacking a 2014 action plan.
The final goal is the same for all agencies – a completed inventory of datasets to be delivered to the Office of Management and Budget. Along the way, agencies will be expanding and opening data inventories, working on methodologies to integrate open data goals into the data creation process, and developing metadata standards for agency datasets. The public will be invited to submit feedback on what kind of metadata would help improve access and availability of government data assets.
For examples of some of more well developed 2014 milestone schedules, check out the National Archives and Records Administration, the Department of Agriculture, and the Office of Personnel Management.

"The definition of being a modern person is to examine yourself, to reflect on yourself and to be a self-knowledgeable person."
"When you photograph the real world, you cannot escape the reality of it. But I think the magic of photography happens when you can escape the facts- the factual aspect of what's being represented. One is always striving to suggest something beyond what is described. It's something I'm very aware of. Someone who doesn't know straight photography would have issues with this and, maybe, would see my work as plain documentary. It does describe certain facts. But I think the strength of it comes from what I can suggest that was not in the photograph at first- what was not in what I saw, and not in the situation itself."

KCAI Receives $25 Million Donation
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Aug. 18, 2015) – In its 130th year, the Kansas City Art Institute (KCAI) is honoring its past and celebrating its future, thanks to a $25 million gift, believed to be one of the largest donations to a North American art college.
The Greater Kansas City Community Foundation presented the $25 million donation on behalf of an anonymous donor during a private reception August 18 with KCAI's board of trustees, faculty, staff and Kansas City arts community supporters in attendance.
"For more than a century, the Kansas City Art Institute has been preparing students to transform the world creatively through art and design," said Debbie Wilkerson, president and CEO of the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation. "This gift comes from a donor who has the highest confidence in the Kansas City Art Institute and, therefore, wants to demonstrate that support financially."
Tony Jones, interim president of KCAI, said, "The gift is a pillow on which we can dream about the future of our college and know our dreams will become reality. This donation is transformative and will cascade down to students, faculty, alumni, donors and the community, and for that we are truly grateful and unabashedly excited." The $25 million gift allows KCAI to continue to support its talented pool of students and the faculty and be a leader in art and design education well into the future, Jones said.
KCAI has a distinguished history. Notable names associated with the school include legendary painter and former KCAI faculty member Thomas Hart Benton; artists Robert Rauschenberg, John Buck, Akio Takamori, and Nick Cave; and Walt Disney, who took KCAI classes as a teenager, to name a few. Today, KCAI is an innovative leader in art and design education, preparing students to creatively transform the world through those practices. It's a mission that's increasingly important and relevant as employers, gallery owners, museum curators and collectors seek out the next generation of innovators and creative thinkers.
The funding includes $14 million for a general endowment. Five million dollars will go toward campus improvements, including deferred maintenance on buildings and landscaping projects. Six million dollars, in the form of a challenge grant, will be used for student scholarships, endowed professorships and visiting professors. Through Dec. 31, 2016, an anonymous fund at the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation will match and double any donation KCAI receives from outside sources up to a total of $6 million. The 2:1 scale is unusual, as most donation matches are at a 1:1 level.
KCAI believes the funding will serve as a tool for recruitment and retention of faculty, staff and students, as well as a magnet for other gifts, offering donors a strong foundation on which to build.
"We have a committed board and a climate that's poised for progress," said Pat McCown, chair of the board of trustees. "This is only the beginning, and it's a call to join us at a very exciting time. Over the past few weeks, we've celebrated the completion of a major renovation in the Richard J. Stern Ceramics Building and hosted renowned Chinese artists in a residency on campus for Studio Nong. This is a college with a fully integrated system of education that serves Kansas City, the nation and, increasingly, the world."
William T. Kemper Foundation gives major grant to KCAI for the restoration of magnificent 1895 "Vanderslice Hall"
If the walls of historic Vanderslice Hall could talk, they would tell stories of the famous students and faculty who created art here at KCAI; the lavish Beaux Arts Ball in the 1930s featured in Life magazine; and elephant rides on the lawn for Morgan Day in 1970. Thanks to a major grant from the William T. Kemper Foundation, Vanderslice Hall – our very own "Downton Abbey" – will continue to serve as the epicenter for festive social, enrollment and administrative activities of the college. Kirk Gastinger of GastingerWalker, an award-winning historical preservation and architectural firm, has overseen the exterior restoration of Vanderslice. Careful research and its application have ensured the historical integrity of the building: Master craftsman tuck-pointed the building, by hand. An extensive review of the mortar was completed to ensure it matched the original. All of the stonework was carefully power-washed or gently hand-scrubbed. The historic art-glass windows have been removed, cleaned and replaced. Nearly all of the windows have been replaced with new thermal-pane casements, matching the original. Roof repairs and intricate metal repairs are nearly complete, as is the courtyard and landscaping. According to Gastinger, "One of the many goals in historic preservation is for read more…

Missing it? This is what I'm talkin' 'bout
Early this week, I wrote a column arguing that the Angels had lost their it, the aura that seemed to sustain them for several seasons.
No longer a playoff team, no longer anything special, particularly in light of Carl Crawford's decision to sign with Boston.
In making my point, I noted a few others who have lost it recently, including Terrell Owens. Right on cue, Owens spouted off about the Cincinnati Bengals' coaching staff...and, making my point, no one cared.
Check out this story on the situation, especially the words of Carson Palmer. And, as a bonus, note Cedric Benson's comment at the very end. Classic.

With so much data available through Google Analytics, sometimes it's easy to fall into the trap of always looking at the same things – reviewing keyword referrals or landing pages, or simply looking at traffic trends.
However, a wealth of available data is often overlooked. Sometimes reviewing something different, or slicing the data in a new way, is all it takes to find a great new opportunity or diagnose a long-standing problem.
Here are three top features in Google Analytics for giving a fresh look to data you may have looked at too many times before.
Advanced Segments
Advanced segments are a godsend for any type of analytics review or diagnosis. By default, you can look at traffic for organic search (or paid depending on the client focus) vs. all traffic to understand the trends and traffic changes you're seeing for the work you're doing against the overall traffic to the client's site.
Segmenting only new traffic is also a good way to help understand if a site is providing the relevant information in the right places to take brand new visitors to a conversion.
I have also recently started using custom segments to identify and exclude visitors who log in (set up a new custom segment to exclude any visitor who lands on the thank you for logging in page of your site). This is a useful alternative to a custom segment to help understand the behavior of new and returning visitors who have never signed up to, or purchased from, a site.
Audience Behavior, Frequency, Recency & Engagement
Frequency and recency refer to how often, and at what time intervals, a visitor returns to the site. Engagement metrics look at how long users are spending on site and how many pages they look at.
While these reports are somewhat broad brush, they make great starting points for understanding what direction you should take in your analytics research.
For instance, looking at the frequency of visits to a hotel site might show that there is a high return rate within 3 days, and a second peak at 50-100 days. This suggests that a large number of visitors are taking a three day period to review their hotel options before making a booking, and that they will generally wait 2-3 months before looking to book again.
When we combine this data with an advanced segment of only converting visitors, the data becomes even more stark. This data can be used to influence retargeting and email campaigns to increase conversion and return visitor rate.
Looking more closely at engagement, we can choose to review visit duration and page depth. I generally expect to see a peak for 0-10s visit duration and then a second peak for much longer duration periods, but the side of these peaks can be very telling about the relevancy of the information being provided to visitors.
Understanding the number of pages that converting visitors look at (again using this feature in conjunction with advanced segments) you should see a minimum number of page views required due to the conversion or shopping cart process. However, if you see a small number of page views above this number resulting in high conversions, you might be prompted to look at sending more traffic to these pages, or to understand the topic of these pages and focusing additional efforts there.
Multi-Channel Funnels
Multi-Channel funnels were launched in August last year, and provide extremely interesting data on the paths that customers take before converting on your site. This is extremely useful information for understanding the true value of a referral source over and above the last touch conversions that it drives.
This is especially useful for low conversion referral channels, and can provide valuable insights into true value. You can see first touch conversion data through the reports in this section and also start to understand how many visits it takes for customer to reach conversion.
The downside to this report is that the data isn't very granular (you can see for instance that a customer clicked through paid search, organic search and eventually converted through a direct visit, but you can't see the keywords involved). Despite this, it's a huge step toward better understanding of customer behavior and the true value each channel provides.

How do I change the word "username" which it displays when telling what field the error message is for? I'm guessing it is taking the name from the Model I created because in the model (which I then made a form of) I had written
username = models.CharField(max_length=10)
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=20)
As you can see, if there is an error with the first_name field, it django would display
- *error message*
How would I make it display "First Name" instead of "first_name"?

A Wonderful Life - Best Markets - #5 Riga
It's nice to be surprised! The market in Riga hasn't been around that long, as Latvia only gained independence from the former Soviet Union back in the early 90s. Maybe because of this, and due to the geographic distance from Western Europe, the market in Riga was very unique and less like a copy of Germanic markets. Riga is not without its Christmas history, however, as the first documented use of a Christmas tree was here in the year 1510.

The day started with rain falling heavily and low clouds swirling around our B&B.

Day 6 Kinsale to Dingle
... Dingle we stopped at the "South Pole Inn", a pub where a famous Irish Antarctic explorer ( he was with both Scott and Shackleton) spent his retirement. We had an Irish Coffee here. Much nicer than the one at Taylor's Three Rock. Must have been the 2 inches of cream on top. It was then a short drive into Dingle. The hotel is great and the town looks interesting. We are here for 2 nights so we have plenty of time to explore ...
Finding the Turangawaewae
The intrepid travellers have been a bit slack in updating this but dodgy WiFi connections and long days have got in the way of our best intentions.
The hostel was great, a real hub for walkers on the Dingle Path. This was 180 km of walking trails around the whole peninsula and seemed to be the sole preserve of Germans on holiday. Our hostel seemed to only have German guests and the owner told me plenty of Germans ...

C came out and she and I watched some English singing talent show. By this point we were all getting hungry so ...

text: Economics From Journalist Edward Humes, Compelling If Unsettling "Trash Talk" about America's Biggest Export By Rich Fisher • Mar 6, 2013 On this installment of ST, we speak by phone with the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Edward Humes, whose previous books include "Force of Nature" and "No Matter How Loud I Shout," and whose latest book, just recently out in paperback, is "Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair with Trash." This book presents an unsettling yet fascinating and highly detailed profile of America's biggest export, its most prodigious product, and perhaps its greatest legacy: garbage. Notes on the Vast and Undervalued Workforce Comprising "Hidden America" (Encore presentation.) By Rich Fisher • Feb 5, 2013 (Please note that this interview originally aired in October of last year.) Our guest is Jeanne Marie Laskas, the director of the writing program at the University of Pittsburgh. She's also an acclaimed journalist whose writing has appeared in GQ, The Washington Post Magazine, Smithsonian, and Esquire. The Best of ST in 2012: Arlie Russell Hochschild By Rich Fisher • Dec 26, 2012 On this "best of" edition of our show, we're listening back to a discussion with the noted sociologist and bestselling author, Arlie Russell Hochschild. The focal point of our interview is Hochschild's latest book, "The Outsourced Self: Intimate Life in Market Times." You can read a full description of this discussion --- and hear a free, on-demand "stream" of same --- at this link. Meet Paul Lewicki, CEO of StatSoft, a Tulsa-Based Company Aiming to Help Greece, Portugal, and Spain By Rich Fisher • Dec 14, 2012 Our guest on this edition of ST is Dr. Paul Lewicki, the CEO of StatSoft, a Tulsa-based company (established in 1984 as a partnership of a group of university professors and scientists) that makes business-analytical software, and that now has 30 offices worldwide. Recently, Dr. Lewicki issued a remarkable challenge --- he wrote an open letter to software CEOs across the US, urging them to provide free software to the three countries that have been especially hard-hit by the ongoing Eurozone crisis: Greece, Portugal, and Spain. Legal Expert Michelle Wilde Anderson on "Dissolving Cities" By Rich Fisher • Dec 12, 2012 On this edition of ST, we are joined by Michelle Wilde Anderson, an Assistant Professor at the UC-Berkeley School of Law and a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Stanford Law School. She'll deliver the Sixth Annual Judge Stephanie K. Seymour Lecture in Law at the University of Tulsa College of Law tonight, Wednesday the 12th, at 6pm. "Intimate Life in Market Times" (Encore presentation.) By Rich Fisher • Nov 26, 2012 On this edition of ST, which first aired earlier this year, we speak with the widely acclaimed author Arlie Russell Hochschild. Her most recent book is "The Outsourced Self: Intimate Life in Market Times." It's a readable and engaging --- and sometimes rather unsettling --- exploration of how, in so many different ways, the market enters (and profoundly alters) contemporary American life, particularly in this Internet Age. "Which Millionaire Are You Voting For?" By Rich Fisher • Oct 29, 2012 On this edition of ST, we welcome Dr. Nicholas Carnes, an Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University. He's a 2006 graduate of The University of Tulsa; in 2011, he received a doctorate in Politics and Social Policy at Princeton University. Last week, Dr. Carnes presented two lectures as part of TU's Distinguished Alumni Lectureship in Law and Politics. The talks he delivered were entitled "What's the Matter with Law School? A Noted Expert Speaks in Tulsa on "The Eurozone Crisis" By Rich Fisher • Oct 25, 2012 On today's ST, a detailed discussion of the currency problems affecting certain European countries --- namely, Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland. We welcome to our show Dr. Stanley Black of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He's a highly respected economics professor who's also taught courses at Princeton, Vanderbilt, Yale, the Institute of International Economics in Stockholm, the University of Siena in Italy, the Brookings Institution, the International Monetary Fund, and the Free University in Berlin. Notes on the Vast, Diligent, and Undervalued Workforce Comprising "Hidden America" By Rich Fisher • Oct 3, 2012 Our guest is Jeanne Marie Laskas, the director of the writing program at the University of Pittsburgh. She's also an acclaimed and accomplished journalist whose writing has appeared in GQ, The Washington Post Magazine, Smithsonian, and Esquire, among other publications. Economics, Electoral Politics, and Elevated Real Estate Values: A Chat with Matthew Yglesias By Rich Fisher • Sep 25, 2012 On this installment of StudioTulsa, we speak by phone with Matthew Yglesias, one of the nation's most widely-read political bloggers and columnists.

Was Boy King a Father?Breaking News
DNA tests on two foetuses from the tomb of Tutankhamun will determine if they were the children of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh. Zahi Hawass, head of Egypt's Supreme Council for Antiquities, said the results should be known by December and also if the grandmother was Queen Nefertiti. It is estimated the foetuses were stillborn up to seven months into pregnancy; they were discovered in 1922 when Howard Carter opened the Luxor tomb of the 'Boy King' (c.1333-23 BC). They have been kept in the Cairo School of Medicine and will now be tested at Cairo University.

Medion Akoya E6228 (MD98980) laptop
Another inexpensive, yet well featured and comfortable to use 15.6in Medion Akoya laptop
- Inexpensive
- USB 3.0, HDMI, WiDI
- Performance
- Good design and build
- Battery life not as good as previous model
Bottom Line
Medion's Akoya E6228 is a 15.6in notebook with good looks and solid build quality, not to mention plenty of features and a strong configuration. There's not much wrong with it at all, which is surprising given its attractive price point. It could use a slightly better screen a more battery life, but these are minor quibbles.
Price$ 599.00 (AUD)
Special Offers
While thin and light laptops are currently being pushed down our throats, it's easy to forget that 15.6in models are still among the most popular on the market. They may not be as easy to carry around on a daily basis, but they offer good bang for buck with regards to the specifications that you get, and they are comfortable to use for long sessions of word processing or other types of productivity tasks. Medion has been a facilitator of affordable and well-featured 15.6in laptops for a while now, and its latest model is the Akoya E6228 (MD 98980), which goes on sale at Aldi supermarkets this Saturday 28 April. It only costs $599, but it has a strong configuration, useful features, and a style that looks and feels good for a notebook in this price class.
Specifications and performance
The Akoya E6228 is a 2.5kg, 15.6in notebook that runs a second generation Intel Core i3-2350M CPU, 8GB of DDR3 SDRAM, integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics and a 5400rpm, 500GB hard drive (a Seagate Momentus ST9500325AS). It's a decent configuration for everyday office work, Web browsing, Internet video streaming and even for tougher tasks such as media transcoding. You can't use it for serious 3D gaming, but its graphics performance is still quite strong for such an inexpensive computer system.
This configuration is an upgrade over the Akoya E6224 that we saw last year, except that the hard drive is 500GB in the new model (instead of 750GB), and the older system also featured a USB-based digital TV tuner whereas the new one doesn't. However, it's also $100 cheaper than last year's model and it has a different and, in our opinion, better design with a more convenient port layout and better input peripherals.
In our tests, we saw improvements across the board compared to the old model. The Akoya E6228 completed the Blender 3D rendering task in 52sec (up from 58sec), the iTunes MP3 encoding test in 1min 10sec (up from 1min 16sec) and the AutoGordianKnot DVD-to-Xvid transcoding test in 1hr 5min (up from 1hr 13min). The hard drive recorded a much improved 39.25 megabytes per second transfer rate (up from 18.43MBps) and the graphics recorded 4411 in 3DMark06 (up from 4238). It's definitely a good performer, as was shown by our tests, but it also felt responsive to use during everyday Web browsing and productivity tasks.
Design and build quality
Despite being 2.5kg, it doesn't feel overly heavy, and it's not uncomfortable for short periods of lap use — although some of the protruding plastic rests on the base can dig into you if you're not careful. Its chiclet keyboard has keys that feel soft and which are responsive. In fact, it's a great keyboard for long periods of typing. The only drawbacks are the tiny up and down arrow keys and the crammed-in number pad; these take some getting used to.
The overall build quality of the Akoya is very decent. It doesn't feel too cheap, even though it does creak a little when picked up from the left side, and it has strong hinges. The left side has a vent with an extraction fan and a big heat sink, which helps keep the Intel Core i3 processor cool. If you just use this laptop for light Web browsing and typing up documents, the base won't warm up at all. In fact, even if you tax the CPU with tasks such as video transcoding, the base still won't get too warm. This is aided by lots of airspace around the CPU — the components are not packed in tight.
There is plenty of space in the base, with the hard drive located away from the RAM and CPU areas.
The finish is prone to catching fingerprints though, especially the lid and the area above the keyboard, but a cloth is supplied so you can get rid of them.
Along the edges of the Akoya there is a DVD burner (which can be very noisy when it's ripping CDs), four USB ports (two of which are USB 3.0), microphone and headphone ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port (Realtek PCIe GBE), and HDMI and VGA ports. The front has an SD card slot; the screen has a webcam; above the keyboard you'll find stereo speakers, but they produce flat sound. It's definitely a notebook that's well stocked with modern conveniences, and this also includes Bluetooth and an Intel N2230, 300Mbps wireless adapter.
This Akoya is also one of the only budget laptops we've seen to include a set of capacitive buttons above the keyboard. They can be used to mute or change the volume, and to play, pause or skip media content. One of the keys is also a wireless toggle. There was a slight delay in the responsiveness of these keys when we used them while the system was busy doing other things, but they worked well for the most part. They are driven by the POsd.exe and PHotkey.exe processes that run in the background.
User friendliness
The touchpad is 81mm wide and 51mm deep and it supports multi-finger gestures. We found it to be an accurate and responsive pad during our tests and it had no problems recognising two-finger scrolling and three-finger flicking gestures. The palm rest has a very smooth texture that can feel sticky after prolonged typing sessions, but it provides ample space and makes typing on this laptop very comfortable. Blue status lights are positioned on the edge of the left palm rest, but they aren't annoyingly bright.
One thing we love about this model is the use of a matte screen. It's not susceptible to reflections and can therefore be used comfortably in a lit room, although it's not a very bright screen. Like most laptop screens, its vertical viewing angles aren't great and the sharpness of the screen is a little low, which can make text look messy at times. For everyday use though, and even for just viewing photos or YouTube videos, it's a passable screen. It has a native resolution of 1366x768.
You can plug in to a big-screen TV using HDMI if you want to get a better view, or, if you're sick of cables, you can make use of the laptop's Intel WiDi-capable wireless module. With a TV adapter from the likes of Belkin (ScreenCast TV) or Netgear (Push2TV), you can use your TV as a second, wireless display for this laptop while you lounge around on the couch.
Battery life
The battery life on this model is not as good as what we saw from the E6224 last year. In our rundown test, in which we disable power management, enable Wi-Fi, maximise screen brightness and loop an Xvid-encoded video, the E6228's battery lasted 3hr 8min, which is over an hour less than the E6224's battery. It's understandable though, given that the E6228 has a 47 Watt-hour battery and the E6224 had a 61.92 Watt-hour battery. Anything over three hours for a big, 15.6in laptop is generally a good showing, but having the same life as the previous model would have been nice.
There's no doubt that this is yet another good value proposition from Medion. The Akoya E6228 is built well for an inexpensive laptop, has a decent design and feature-set, it's comfortable to use and it performs well. For $599 it's hard to ask for more. It will be available from Aldi supermarkets on Saturday 28 April.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
